How to select last x months of data in a dataset

I have a dataset with 18 months of data. For a visual I want to use only the last 6 months of data. Do I create a new measure and used CALCULATETABLE with a FILTER and then add that field to the filter for the visual?

 
Something like this except it should be Last x months...mayby?
Last6Months = CALCULATETABLE(VALUES(IncidentsLast18Months[Created Date]), FILTER(IncidentsLast18Months,IncidentsLast18Months[Created Date] >= DATE(2019,5,1) && IncidentsLast18Months[Created Date] <= DATE (2019,11,30)))

 

The dataset contains these fields.

Hi @larsvillaume ,

 

You can drag [Created Date] to Filters and select Filter type as "Relative date filtering", then select the data you want to display last X months.
